Yeah, which holds true in all the Fire Emblem games I've played. In addition to being more powerful, nobles also drive the plot and do everything important.

My internet speeds are terrible compared to many on GAF, but I still only use wired connections with my Nintendo systems. It just seems like the best option at all times in docked mode.
It really just depends on how significant you want deaths to be. In my experience with Hyrule Warriors, I definitely found that sometimes it's possible to accidentally be careless and a character will suddenly die. Personally, I think I'll go with Casual Mode, but it's up to you.

thats true. it is a very japanese mindset where lineage is still very important. they still have an emperor and that line existed (according to their shinto beliefs) for thousands of years. its not surprising that royalty is fascinating for them.

So.... I've never played a Fire Emblem game in my life.
I love musou games though, I just put crazy hours in Samurai Warriors 4 last weekend.
Will I enjoy this?

Yes. It has some elements of Fire Emblem (supports, pairing up, the weapon triangle, a more strategic focus, etc.), but it's still a Warriors game.
I haven't played this game yet, so my opinion is based on what I've read from others and my experience with Hyrule Warriors: Based on the reviews, it seems like this is generally a pretty good Warriors game, so I'd guess yes? I'd say look at the character designs and playstyles and see if they appeal to you. I don't think familiarity with Fire Emblem is a necessity to enjoy this game. I believe that both Nintendo and Koei Tecmo are hoping that the game will be accessible and appealing to both FE and Warriors fans (as a way of growing both fanbases), so I bet it's worth a shot. My experience with Hyrule Warriors waa that it was way more necessary to be a fan of Warriors games than Zelda games to enjoy it.
The story itself isn't really that long at all, I've been beating each stage at each difficulty and I got sub 20 including time messing on the menu and in the weapons menu. This is for just the story.
The game will take as long as you want it to, whether or not you want Anna, want to beat all the history maps, getting the best weapons, maxing out all of the characters's levels, skills, etc.

Just finished downloading
Because FE draw its inspiration from Western fantasy mythos? Unlike Chinese where nobility means shit and usually represented as the face of decadent dynasty, Western AND Japanese nobility have their legitimacy and status much deeply rooted to their social strata. As such, the myth of noblesse oblige is very prevalent in Japanese fantasy that draws its inspiration and setting from the west. Their history with Shogunate and Samurai class makes that mythos more relatable to them culturally.
Though FE not really always nobless oblige thing in a romantic way or make it the forefront of its theme. S. Kaga, the father of FE have more familiarity with dynastic conflict as such his story divert more and more from infallible to decadent nobility as time goes on. It is not like the current FE team always repeat that either. Ike story follows a traditional Chinese myth of someone from common birth rise from zero to hero by their talent alone. Wished they create story like PoR next than rehashing the same story we recently getting.
Their view towards nobility and lineage is much more complex actually since The Warring States allows many figures of low birth (either commoner or poor nobles) become famous through their deeds alone. Not to mention that they also likes Three Kingdoms where the nobility usually become the face of a crumbling dynasty and heroes rise from commoner and low nobility alikes.
So on one hand they romanticize nobless oblige, and on the other hand they believe heroes can rise from folks of low birth.
Same problem here. Amazon UK still says that the game has not been released and that they will contact me as soon as they have a shipping date.
The 3DS version seems to be sold out right now, but they have the Limited Edition in stock.

I feel like this is a dig at people who complain about the dub but I can also relate because its not as bad as I want it to be because I want all musou dubs to be DW3 bad.
Now this is something that I can get behind.
Hey everybody I made a quick comparison of quality vs performance mode. No spoilers or anything. https://youtu.be/_YGYPDYtZ_k

Not sure if I should get this physical or digital on switch.
The reviews are letting me feel good about the game, but the dlc news was a bit of a bummer.
No Camus or Maribelle.
Also disappointed with Owain, Niles, and Oboro being in the dlc, because none of them really interest me, Oboro only slightly because shes a lancer.

yes, theres a patch to version 1.1.0. cant exactly say how big, but i downloaded it very quick with a shitty internet connection, so not that big.
Very nice video, thanks for sharing! Will be something to experience 60fps after being accustomed with Hyrule Warrior's 30FPS.
Also is it just me or is anyone else bothered by the Material sound effect? I know it's from the 3DS games, it wasn't my favorite noise there either but you didn't hear it often. Here it seems like it'll play a ton here in quick succession...Oh brother.

Thanks, please keep us updated about what they said.
I'm in the same boat as you: FE:W is my second game in an order I placed when amazon.co.uk offered a £10 discount for orders over £75 a few weeks back, and I already got the first game of that order (South Park) two days ago. So I can't easily cancel and just buy it somewhere else.
I pre ordered it on Amazon UK a few days ago and it shipped from a third party seller
Yes, a marketplace seller already had the game in stock 2 or 3 days ago, but not amazon.co.uk themselves.
They were listing that as the main buying option so Amazon themselves obviously either messed up or weren't given much stock
Not really getting anywhere
Wow, that sucks.
I'm starting a chat with customer support myself right now.
Ever since I preordered the game on September 3rd, they never listed the release date of the game. I always thought that was very unusual.
My order status still says the same as 6-7 weeks ago:
"Not yet dispatched
Delivery estimate: We need a little more time to provide you with a good estimate. We'll notify you via e-mail as soon as we have an estimated delivery date."
Something is very weird about their listing of that game.
Nope, nothing, just:
It's a real bummer, looks like it didn't leave their warehouse until this morning according to tracking. It's not a disaster or anything, it's just disappointing, I was looking forward to it this weekend
In the end I got a £5 reduction and a month of Prime, but no indication of when the item is likely to be in stock.
I asked if they would upgrade me to the limited edition for free but they sort of skimmed over it.
Edit: for fuck sake they've removed my £20 discount promotion from the order!!!
The fuck?
I also had no luck. They will look into it, blablabla. An upgrade to the Limited Edition was not possible.
If I understood correctly, they won't charge me any shipping costs. That's it.
I don't know. If it doesn't ship until monday, I will probably cancel. Maybe sooner.

do not forget that none of the winners of the sengoku period claimed themselves to be the tenno. Dont forget that the meiji restauration brought the royalty to the fore again.
So while there is a mentality that you described (often represented by low born characters in FE that get a noble husband/wife and play vital roles in the plot.) there also still exists a cult of royalty
Three Kingdoms is just a general cultural phenomenon in all of asia. Also dont forget that the protagonist Liubei is the heir of the han-dynasty and the two other warlords are also Han-nobility
The fuck?

Contacted them again to sort it luckily I spotted it otherwise I would have been out a fair bit of cash, it's sorted now and they gave me the difference to spend on whatever I wanted so I've just reduced my Mario order down to £26. Still have FE ordered for £37 but I'll likely just cancel it if it doesn't come in the next few days.
I've just emailed Amazon UK customer support as well (standard Switch edition pre-ordered ages ago), will update here when I hear from them.
I don't really want to cancel as I got it from a good price with a promotion (£36).
